Some time ago: What’s your name,what’s your phone number, where do you live, who are your parents etc.? Do you want to go on a date? Your going on a vacation tomorrow? Okay, I’m very sorry:(
Nowadays: What’s your name? No I don’t need more. I can get everything else from your Facebook. Let’s go on a date? No, you can’t because your to far?. No problem, turn on your Skype and let’s have an E-date:)
E dating is the best solution for the ones who are busy most of the time. You can do this through social media by using your smartphone for example. E-dates are much more fun aren’t they? We show our best body part through a Skype video chat and the other person will much likely be more interested. Imagine your left ear being more attractive than your right one, this will obviously result in you showing your left ear only and hiding your right one. Great way to deceive someone.
Research shows that online dating is successful. The percentage of marriages in which the couple met on a dating site accounted for 17% of all. The number of people engaged in romantic relationships is higher. It is great right? What happens here is that couples create an emotional bond together. Let’s take as an example that there is a fat man trying to seduce a really well shaped woman through an E-date. This man is likely to lie about his weight. After several E-dates this woman may begin to like this man (because of his characteristics of course) and they set up a real date. When the woman gets to see that the man is a bit overweight she will feel a little deceived but the chances are small that she will not be willing to see him again. So in time people get attached and they don’t mind a small lie that is used on a E-date.
In my opinion E-dating is tricky but still a strategic way of getting a fiance.
What do you guys think of E-dating?
I agree with you that it is a strategic way of getting a fiance and that E-dating is tricky.. I think more tricky than strategic..
Is it always a small lie that is used on E-dating? And is lying about your appearance a small lie in the first place?
People fall in love with someone because they like the person’s personality, but in the first place because they like the person’s appearance. If that wasn’t the case people wouldn’t care about their photos on their profile. So, if you fall in love with someone’s personality and appearance… and later you find out that that person deceived you with their personality or/and appearance, on what is your love based on? People really are getting hurt by such lies… they didn’t only fell in love with someone who is turned out to be someone else (in your example a big person rather than a thin person), but they also got deceived by that person whom they have feelings for. Deception damages the trust you and your lover had built in time.. With a big chance of making you insecure about the whole relationship you have with him/her, because if he/she lied about his/her appearance.. About what did he/she lie more?
Your example was based on a more forgivable lie for some people, but there are cases where lies about appearances are grandiose. I watched the sequence Catfish on MTV (http://www.mtv.com/shows/catfish/video.jhtml?filter=fulleps).
There was an episode in which a girl was E-dating with a boy.. at least, that was what she thought. The “boy” turned out to be a girl, who was undergoing a transgender process!
Another episode was about that the “boy” turned out to be a girl who wanted to take revenge on something.
After seeing the episodes and thereby seeing the most bizarre things i came to the conclusion that it can be very tricky and hurtful! If you see what people do to hold their lies up (for example while Skyping or calling with the other person), you will think twice before you choose E-dating. The liar will for example let their male friend call the girl (in case of my given examples) to make the story right.
Most of the people don’t want to hold up the relation after knowing the truth.
With the “E-dating lies”, being hurt is the outcome.. Preventing being lied to is very hard.. So, i would say date in real life or E-date with a person you’ve seen (or whom you’ve seen soon enough, before the feelings become strong?) in real life!
